Great video! Hard light is something I love but can't ever get it down, this helps!
Side Note: How about a tour of that penthouse LOL are there still the weird portraits with the horse?

2:17 that foreshortening! ouch!

[@PROgaming-fm6yu]

shutter speed is way to high. no need due to the lack of movement. Would rather have a cleaner image than ISO 800
